Assertiveness and Outside Influences
At the end to a previous posting, “My Optimum Assertive Style”, I made reference to ‘outside influences’, which could affect your ability to be assertive.
By the way, how did you go with the exercise?
Did you think of a person you needed to be more assertive with?
Did you find a typical situation in which you might find yourself with that person?
And did you analyze the situation using the 5 X W-H checklist?
All the different skills, you can amass so that assertiveness becomes part of your every day behaviour, are worthwhile.
The exercise above will help you be better prepared when next dealing with a person within a similar situation.
Please listen to the 4.16 minute AUDIO if you prefer.
